First Bike Ride of the Season

Last Sunday Sweetie asked, what do you want to do? I said geocaching, she said how about a bike ride. Darn right, lets go. SuperPizzaBoy went swimming at his Grandmother’s house.

Here is Sweetie all styling and everything.

“SMYS” pipeline term for “Specified Minimum Yield Strength” it has to do with the strength of the steel in used in pipelines. 100% SMYS is right at the limit. Legally you have to be at no more than 72% in remote areas. Less as areas are more populated. I’m at about 125% for my biking shirt. I’m going to wear it till it busts for two reasons:

1. My Sister Ellen gave it to me and not only is she my Sister she is also one of my most faithful readers.

2. It is a Fat Tire shirt. My favorite beer. I can’t buy the beer in Oklahoma but I can sure wear the shirt.


We met this guy on our ride. He was being a little protective of the herd.

Some ladies have no sense of humor. I yelled “Nice Rack” to this one. She turned and stomped off before I could get her picture. These modern ladies just aren’t the same. I mean if she doesn’t want anybody looking at her, quit flaunting it.
Sweetie and I had a great time. She was very patient with me stopping all the time and taking pictures.

    Great how you worked that pipeline term in there. And the inappropriate comment to the sensitive longhorn gal. Glad the ride was good.

    You look a little like Chris Farley in the SNL Chippendale’s video in that shirt. But hey, if you’ve got it, flaunt it.

    A bike ride with me would require lots of stopping… “for pictures.”
    Sweetie missed seeing a movie with me for this bike ride, you know.

    We have Fat Tire up here in Iowa – the Captain ranks it quite high on the beer list. We’ll send ya some. No longhorns though. We miss the longhorns.
